sprint motorola photon 4g

It's a story we're hearing all too often these days. An update comes down for a phone, and the phone starts acting up. Such is the case, apparently, for a number of Sprint Motorola Photon 4G users, who are reporting such problems as overheating to failed updates. It's not everybody, of course, but it's enough to raise eyebrows.
So what's the word? Yay or nay on update issues?

Sprint's Motorola Photon 4G is in the midst of a little bugfix update this week. You can either go into the settings menu and start the update that way, or just wait for the update notification to appear.Here's what's being fixed in software version 4.5.1A-1_SUN-154_5:Improvements to voice calling to eliminate inadvertent voice calls defaulting to muteImprove stability, resulting in fewer...

Today's the day, folks. The Motorola Photon 4G is now available in Sprint stores and online. And if you couldn't tell from Part 1 of our Photon 4G review, we're slightly over the moon about this one. Between the 4.3-inch touchscreen (Pentile display notwithstanding), dual-core 1GHz processor and that it's running Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread, plays Netflix out of the box -- and has Sprint's Wimax...

Read Part 1 of our Motorola Photon 4G review The best part about having the best Android community around? Easy answer to stupid problems. See, as Android Central Forums member Quis points out, when you're using kickstand on the Motorola Photon 4G like in the picture above, you can't charge at the same time because the microUSB port is resting against the table/desk/laptop whatever. Oops. Fellow...

Motorola may well have Sprint's best 4G phone yet (Ed. note: We've had Sprint's Motorola Photon 4G under embargo for about 16 hours now, which is great for some initial thoughts -- and we've got plenty -- but it's not really enough time for a proper full-scale review. So we're going to break things up into two parts. This one tackles hardware and initial impressions -- things that don't...

Read Part 1 of our Motorola Photon 4G reviewWhen Netflix updated its Android app a couple weeks ago, the number of officially supported devices climbed to two dozen. The number of devices that the app actually works on is even bigger. And another one of those devices is the Sprint Motorola Photon 4G.The Photon wasn't -- and as of this writing still isn't -- on the list of supported devices. But...

When the Photon 4G was announced, Sprint said its first 4G Android device from Motorola would be coming "this summer." Looks like that's been bumped up to "coming soon." That doesn't exactly shed any light on when you'll actually be able to buy one. But any movement's better than no movement at all, right?More: Photon 4G forums; Thanks, anon!

Youtube link for mobile viewing Sure, you caught our liveblog of the Sprint-Motorola Photon 4G event. And you've checked out our initial hands-on a time or two. And now it's time for the official videos, folks. Above, you'll find Motorola's official promo video. And after the break, a trio of videos from Sprint of the event itself, with CEO Dan Hesse, among others. Enjoy! Thanks to everybody who...

Youtube link for mobile viewing Somehow we think we've heard this tune before. Motorola confirmed to Engadget in regards to the new Sprint Photon 4G that the "Motoblur" name is being phased out. But it's in name only -- the skin and services remain the same as they ever were. This isn't exactly a new idea, folks. It was nearly a year ago that Motorola told us exactly the same thing at the Droid X...

Update: We've spoken with Motorola PR, who tells us the Photon does not have an unlocked bootloader, and the rep who initially told us otherwise was in error. Please read the full story here.One of the more exciting (if extremely nerdy) specs to come out of today's Sprint Motorola Photon 4G event (see our hands-on) is that the upcoming Android smartphone indeed will ship with an unlocked...
